Liam Finn
Meet Liam, an LTA Level 2 Padel Coach with a twist. Liam’s not always had a racket in his hand, from racing Motocross most his life to picking up a padel racket for the first time, where he instantly fell in love. While it’s a bit different from the usual background, he thrives by relating to people who also haven’t come from racket sports experience. The power behind this is that it doesn’t bring any bad habits, that offbeat background means he’s super relatable and down to earth, making every session as fun as possible. Liam offers on court 1-to-1 & group tailored sessions for players at any level, helping to meet all requirements set as well as offering remote match analysis. instagram.com/padelcoachliam

Padel in Manchester
Manchester is the UK's second-largest padel market, and the city's obsession with sport makes it a natural fit for the fastest-growing racket game in the world. Football, running, cycling — Mancunians take their sport seriously, and padel is no exception. Courts have sprung up across Greater Manchester, from indoor facilities in the City Centre and Didsbury to clubs in Sale, Cheadle, and the nearby hub of Altrincham — which has its own growing cluster of coaches. Both indoor and outdoor courts are available, though the indoor venues are the go-to choice for year-round play in the north-west's famously unpredictable weather. All 12 coaches on this directory hold LTA certification (Level 1 to Level 3), and many run sessions at multiple venues across the region. Competitive play is picking up too: club leagues and open tournaments are now a regular fixture in Greater Manchester, giving ambitious players a clear pathway beyond recreational coaching. Private coaching runs £30–£65 per hour depending on the coach's level and location, with group sessions offering a more affordable entry point. Whether you're a complete beginner or a tennis player making the switch, Manchester has the coaches and the courts to get you moving.

What Is Padel?
Padel is a racket sport played in doubles on an enclosed court with walls. It combines elements of tennis and squash and is one of the fastest-growing sports in the world.
Padel Rules: How the Game Works
Padel rules are simple to learn. Played in doubles on an enclosed court, the game uses tennis scoring and allows the ball to bounce off walls after hitting the ground.
Padel Equipment: What You Need to Play
To play padel you need a padel racket, padel balls, and appropriate footwear. The racket is solid (no strings) with holes, and the balls are slightly softer than tennis balls.
The Bandeja: Padel's Essential Overhead
The bandeja is a controlled overhead shot in padel used to maintain net position. It's one of the most important shots in the game and a must-learn for intermediate players.
The Golden Point: Padel's Sudden Death Rule
The golden point is the sudden death point played at deuce (40-40). One team serves, and the receiving team chooses which side to return from. The team that wins the point wins the game — no advantage.
Wall Play in Padel: How to Use the Walls
Wall play is what makes padel unique. After a ball bounces on your side, it can hit the back or side wall — and you can still play it. Mastering the walls transforms your defensive game.

Padel coaching in Manchester: common questions
How much does a padel coach cost in Manchester?
Private padel coaching in Manchester typically costs £30–£65 per hour. Rates depend on the coach's LTA certification level (Level 1 to Level 3), the venue, and whether you book peak or off-peak slots. Group coaching sessions — usually 3–4 players sharing a court — are a more affordable option, often running £12–£20 per person per hour.
Where are the best places to play padel in Manchester?
Manchester has indoor and outdoor padel courts spread across the city and its suburbs. City Centre and Didsbury are popular for convenience, while Sale, Cheadle, and Altrincham have established clubs with regular coaching programmes. Indoor venues are the most practical choice for year-round play given the north-west climate.
Can I find group padel coaching in Manchester?
Yes — group coaching is widely available in Manchester and is one of the most popular ways to start. Most LTA-certified coaches in the area offer beginner group sessions, improver clinics, and performance groups for more advanced players. Club-based group sessions are particularly well-established in Altrincham and Didsbury.
Are there padel coaches for children in Manchester?
Yes. Several LTA-certified coaches in Greater Manchester run dedicated junior programmes and family sessions. Many padel clubs in the area offer structured junior coaching alongside adult lessons, and the LTA's Padel Kids initiative has helped establish youth pathways at clubs across the region.
